Limits on free speech are good. First, neoliberalism makes free speech and agonistic dialogue impossible; restrictions are inevitable. Second, restrictions reveal the authoritarian nature of neolib and surface its contradictions – that causes antagonistic protests that are more effective than simple "dialogue" that can't reach a mass audience

Free speech is an illusion propagated by corporatists – their model of rights assumes an equal playing field analogous to free market economists view of capital. The promotion of free speech perpetuates the idea that speech is a commodity, which strengthens neoliberalism's hold on the academy. Brown 15

Interpretation—The kritik is a litmus test. The team with the best method of questioning the assumptions of the 1AC should win the debate—unless the affirmative justifies their fundamental assumptions you vote negative to endorse preferable modes of knowledge production.

The affirmative posits themselves as masters of the theatre of policy, able to create a new reality which more closely resembles the ideal form which makes their plan defensible. This drive towards purification and explanation, this will to truth, is an attempt to escape suffering and creative potential which negates life.

Turanli 2k3 ~aydan, "nietzsche and the later wittgenstein", journal of nietzsche studies, issue 26, p. 61-2, muse~
The craving for absolutely general specifications results in doing metaphysics. Unlike Wittgenstein, Nietzsche
AND
the way out of the fly-bottle" (PI §309). 

The affirmative attempts to extend this negative concept of mastery to the whole event of existence to eradicate chaos. Against such an ordering, you should affirm the free spirit as a toying with this slavish framework of life. It is the only positive choice.

Nietzsche 1873 ~"On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense", pg 7~
The free intellect copies human life, but it considers this life to be something
AND
may at least correspond creatively to the impression of the powerful present intuition.

The 1ac's analysis of actions under UTIL re-engenders Ressentiment by necessitating the distinction of good and evil

Deleuze 83 ~Gilles, "Nietzsche and Philosophy", p. 117-119~
"Passivity". In ressentiment happiness "appears essentially as a narcotic drug, rest
AND
slave needs, to set the other up as evil from the outset.

The affirmative can always identify a particular threat to our existence. The insecurities of the affirmative are a daily reality. Their desire for mastery and control in response to these inherent conditions of life is a domestication of the world which attempts to cleanse the unknown. This isn't just about death given that we all die, but the parts of life that make it valuable. Their act of pity negates our ability to affirm and create, making us boring creatures without much value. Their framework for life makes extinction desirable.

Nietzsche 1886 ~fredrich, "beyond good and evil", aph ~# 225, pg. 342~
Whether hedonism, or pessimism, or utilitarianism, or eudaimonianism (6)—all
AND
only this suffering which has created all the things which raise man up?

Attempts to secure our experience of existence – physically or psychologically – suppress and internalize paranoiac fear. This produces life as a managerial project where we constantly struggle to prefect it through security. This fuels a ressentiment that negates beauty and life.

Der Derian 95 ~James, On Security, pg. 29~
The will to power, then, should not be confused with a hobbesian perpetual
AND
owes this artificial strength to the illusion of being protected by a god."

The alternative is to affirm destiny and chance. You should take the risk of exposing yourself to violent impacts, abandon the desire for mastery, and embrace the unknown and unfamiliar aspects of life by refusing to engage the 1ac. This risks danger but your mortality is something that is certain anyway. The alternative is the only way to live life eventfully and adventurously, through a rolling of the dice.

Deleuze 83 ~Gilles, "Nietzsche and Philosophy", pg. 25-27~

Standards:

Aff skew – the interpretation incentivizes increasingly unpredictable and small affs the negative will always be behind in the affirmative's interpretation – they will always be unable to prepare and research against the infinite number of affs that the affirmative can bring up ie. The affirmative could be protecting something like "Public colleges and universities in the United States ought not restrict students' right to write papers on Kant" or that "Colleges shouldn't restrict students' right to say racism bad" that kill discussion and make the debate impossible for the neg – destroys fairness

Research Burden – the negative will always be behind in the affirmative's interpretation – they will always be unable to prepare and research against the infinite number of affs that the affirmative can bring up – destroys education because this leads to shallow debates with no valuable clash occurring and destroys fairness for the negative to be able to win1.
